Fresh Sterling Fishing Reports

This is not for little kids as you do stand in the river and there is a current but teenage would be fine.

Easy fishing, late July is the time to hit sterling to limit-out in two hours.

If you book a morning trip in Sterling, the mornings can be really chilly on the river - even at the end of July (~48 F). Layer up; it probably only warmed up to the mid-50's F by 11. Keep in mind you'll be wading in cold water and there's gonna be some serious wind chill on the boat ride up the Kenai!

This is our third summer fishing in soldatna, every year is a wonderful experience.

Using a guide was SO worth it. We learned techniques that, had we fished on our own, we would not have known. We're pretty sure we would not have been so successful without our guide.

Watch some YouTube videos and be proactive in talking with your guide. Don't be afraid of learning and getting into it. Definitely bring a rain jacket and be willing to adapt your times to get the best catch and don't forget to enjoy the beautiful area and have fun!
